Rajinikanth’s much-anticipated sequel Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is nearing completion.
Riding on the massive success of Jailer, expectations for the sequel are naturally very high.
Sensing strong demand in the Telugu market, the makers are reportedly quoting a hefty price for the film’s theatrical rights.
Industry buzz suggests they are asking around ₹60 crore for the Telugu version.
This has raised eyebrows in trade circles.
Given the current market scenario and the underperformance of Rajinikanth’s recent film Coolie, many feel that such a steep price carries significant risk.
The makers’ argument is simple: Jailer 2 has stronger buzz and brand value, which justifies the higher quote. Whether Telugu distributors will agree to this pricing remains to be seen.
